Moved to off topic. Also I remember way back when I played the first Mario bros game I thought Mario turned into a football player when he got a mushroom so he was strong enough to break blocks and fire flowers turned him into a chef that gave him fire powers or something. Past me why are you so naive....

Then again, when I was a kid there was this ad on TV by Concerned Childrens Advertisers about house hippos (look it up) that looked so real it convinced people across the province (I think it was provincial, at least) that there were tiny hippos that lived in peoples closets. It wasnt just kids who feel for it, either. I know adults who have admitted they thought it was legit. Moral of the story, kids are dumb and we're all secretly kids.
